It’s only natural everyone wants the best
price for their scrap car and it’s a competitive market so you shouldn’t have
to try too hard right? However, it doesn’t go so smoothly for a lot of you out
there, but things are improving!

Get 3 quotes from different companies, simple right? Still effective and a method still used today, but it’s
important to vary your approach, let us explain more...

If you ring 3 similar scrap yards local to
you, the prices are likely to be pretty similar, however if you choose the better one of
the 3 and compare with a scrap yard not so local, you'll widen your search and get a
feel for prices not just in your location, but also around your location.

It is worth mentioning, if you have a ‘Toyota Avensis’ then
we recommend you researching a ‘Japanese Car Breaker’ as they should be more
competitive than a local ‘General Car Breaker’.

Make sure the company you deal with is a
genuine Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) that’s able to issue you with a
Certificate of Destruction. This is easier said then done, as a lot of websites
advertising today are one-man bands, picking out what they feel they can make money on. Either way, it’s
important you get either the Vehicle Registration Document taken care of and
keep a record of the person you dealt with.

You might think we’re scare
mongering here but honesty, you’ll be surprised how many calls we get a week
from people trying to re-track their steps, trying to find the person/company they
dealt with.

Finally, and of course we’re going to say
this but it really is worth trying a national Scrap Car Network or Car Take
Back Service. Recycling networks have a high number of Scrap Dealers who are there to get you the best prices, quoting instantly online, providing you with a competitive quote from the start. You
also have the additional benefit of calling upon there assistance throughout
the process.
